Sen. Lindsey Graham's perfect response to Donald Trump revealing his cell number

If you ever wanted to watch a sitting US senator smash and burn a bunch of cellphones, here's your chance.

On Tuesday, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump revealed Sen. Lindsey Graham's cellphone number in a big, bizarre speech. On Wednesday, in a video by IJ Review, Graham responded in the only way that now seems reasonable: He destroyed a bunch of flip phones similar to the one he carries.

Graham is notorious for his flip phone use. Although he joked about getting an iPhone or Android phone after Trump's speech, RealClearPolitics reporter Rebecca Berg tweeted that a source close to Graham said that "he's def keeping a flip phone."

Probably getting a new phone. iPhone or Android?

Can't believe I'm tweeting this, but...source close to Graham says this is a joke and he's def keeping a flip phone https://t.co/wED7JHMyAI

Just not any of the flip phones in the video, obviously.

Watch: Donald Trump is trolling the Republican Party

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
